"In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on" – Robert Frost

It’s Awards Time Once More – Part 1

It’s been a big week and one of the highlights was the Tween’s Primary School graduation. After their big dinner and dance, all of their families were invited to join them in the school hall for a final dance, presentation of certificates and a song. We were beyond thrilled when the Tween won an award (the very first ever) for Excellence in Japanese. My MIL was there and she began crying and we just cheered. It was so unexpected even she asked her friends if it was her name that had been called out. We are so very, very proud of her.

Not to be outdone, her mother has been receiving awards also. This time in the blogosphere. I have received so many that I am going to have to break them up over different posts. For this post, I wish to thank greengrowsdark an Glynis Jolly of Speculations Impressed for nominating me for the “Versatile Blogger” Award.

Rules for the award are:

“Thank the person/s who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy. Include a link to their blog/s. That’s also common courtesy. Next select 15 blogs/bloggers that you have recently discovered or have followed for some time. Pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent and nominate those 15 blogs/bloggers for the award. Finally tell the person who nominated you, 7 things about yourself”

Okay, I know I’m cheating by doing two together but I reckon you’re going to be sick of seeing awards posts from me after I am done, so combining them together is best for both of us.

I just want to add that I am incredibly honoured and touched at these blog awards. It means so much to me that the meanderings of my mind are touching something within you all.

Oh, we already have flashes of that. I find it so frustrating not knowing if she is just being moody or if something is genuinely wrong with her. Shoulder shrugs to questions just don’t cut it for me!!
Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

Congratulations with your daughter. My kids have long past that age, but I remember one thing about this being moody from my own daughter. The best I could do was not to say anything, but show her, that I was there, if she needed me. Maybe it works for you too…
I hope you win the nomination.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to experiment on my dolls. Growing up on Enid Blyton, I truly thought she was a living creature. But then after I had done it, I thought “How is she going to face the other toys later after I have gone to bed”? 😉

WELCOME

Robert Frost famously said that the three words "It Goes On" summed up everything he had learned about life.
I'm Sue and I'm living proof that his words are incredibly true. In my life I have suffered grief, loss, disappointment, divorce, depression, abuse and a host of other things. I have also experienced much joy, peace, love and happiness as I have journeyed through my half century here on earth.
I have indeed learned that life goes on and the sun will in fact rise the following day. I've learned that how I choose to deal with the present moment and all following moments is entirely in my hands.
Through my blog I hope to share inspiration as I step out each day and tackle life head on.
